Karee Smith STEM teacher at STARBASE MN (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose PTC Creo We were required by DoD to use this software, but we also like it because it is professional.

User Testimonials
	PTC Creo
Likelihood to Recommend	PTC PTC Creo is great for assemblies that multiple users are collaborating on. Models can reference other models that someone in another department has released and when those models are changed, the referenced parts and assemblies are changed. These changes are very helpful when working on collaborative machine designs and comparing forging dies with the final parts.

Pros	PTC PTC Creo contains many advanced tools with better optimization for creating part models and other production related drawings. The initial concept designs can be done more adequately. The parameters of 2D drawings can be changed easily by editing the 3D model. The productivity can be increased by customized tools for modeling.

Cons	PTC No autosave No clear message if it has problems saving the file Not so easy to use In my experience, has a lot of things missing that other CAD already have in years In my experience, it's extremely easy to lose work/time Verified User Read full review
Support Rating	PTC I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading. Incentivized Karee Smith STEM teacher Read full review
Alternatives Considered	PTC Learning curve of SOLIDWORKS is higher compared to Creo, however, stability and more design control is provided by Creo. Creo also have more robust and stable interfaces. For larger assemblies, Creo works better than SOLIDWORKS. New upgrades of Creo has given liberty to open different file data of different software without any file conversion. Creo costs comparable to SOLIDWORKS cost, with more capabilities. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
